Opening act(s): One small issue with the complete package, WHO was that pub singer/comic (i won't say comedian as he wasn't funny) we could do with out any of that. @

Once again George produces the kind of show we all love
Not only the wonderful songs of The late great nat King Cole but then he just turned up the heat and gave as all the songs we love to hear.
To hera George opnce again backed by an Orchestar was terrific , only small dissappointment was that they left mid way through but the band more than made up for that.
If you get the chance you have to see George "live" as it IS better than a CD.

George Benson was absolutely brilliant. He put on an amazing show and it's hard to believe he is 66! This was a tribute to Nat King Cole, but George also did a set of his own well-loved songs. Everybody was up and dancing to these!

A Benson Party
Royal Albert Hall @
- London @
- Thu 2 Jul 2009 @
Favourite moment: when he sang one of my favourites, "On Broadway" @
Opening act(s): A comedian called Tucker. He was an excellent warm-up act. Traditional british comic, but with a 21st century twist. Some of the ladies considered him a bit blue. I loved him. Less singing could have made it even better, especially if he had not sung at the end. @

Geroge came out and got the house on his side from the very start. He started with Nat King Cole resurrection. Some were ok, but many were excellently done, especially Nature Boy, which he has done previously. I have never been a great lover of his vocals, but many of the King covers were excellently done, and were near perfect re-creations of "the King's" repertoire, which is high praise, because Nat was one of the smoothest, most romantic crooners who ever sang a note. However, once George fell back on his own music, and concentrated more on the guitar, at which he simply excels like no other, the Royal Albert Hall rocked in a most regal fashion. Dancing, singing, clapping were the order of the evening. The whole crowd knew the songs and everybody loved every note. George Benson is one of that small group of musicians whom everyone should see, because he is simply, "that damn good."

Favourite moment: All the old George favourites @
Setlist: Breezin', Give me the Night, Mona Lisa, Smile, etc etc @
Opening act(s): Was a comedian called Tucker who was really funny. It took him a while to warm up as the audience were expecting a musical act- but everyone seem to like him . @

As ever George was brilliant, this concert was different in that it was a tribute to Nat King Cole and finished with all Georges old favourites so we could "party". He sang the Nat King Cole songs beautifully and sounded so much like him it was unreal. His guitar solos are amazing and he sings with such passion and really engages with his audience. Can't wait to see him again.
